Black Lives Matter Protest Spirals Out of Control
By Johan Dijkstra | June 14, 2018

On the evening of June 1st, a protest formed with a legal permit in Idlewood at Gilmore Avenue. It was one of the Black Lives Matter protests. However, the protest promptly got out of hand when the protesters were blocking the road, disrupting traffic, and forced the police to restrain them and intervene. After several provocations from the protesters, including minor attacks on the officers, the police finally had enough and intervened with force, loading beanbag shotguns with rubber bullets and firing them on the now rioters. However, this resulted in a bloodbath with numerous wounded, all of which were the protesters.

Rioters began to disperse after this show of force from the police, but time will tell if the police's intervention may or may not have sparked a larger movement and justified the protest's reason to exist. The LSPD has not commented yet on this matter. We will keep you updated as more information is known.

The San Andreas Network recently met with one of Los Santos' rising business men Richard Bellavoli. Bellavoli owns the taxi firm Los Santos Transit as well as a bar called Bellavoli's Liquors in Market. He is bound to shake things up in Los Santos and perhaps pose a threat to the established businesses here.

Richard Bellavoli began with explaning to reporters his beginnings in Los Santos as an accountant. He still remains in charge of managing all the paperwork in his firms, hiring people, and their internal matters. He co-owned his taxi firm Los Santos Transit with his associate Jonathan Larussi. Unfortunately, his associate passed away a few weeks ago which left him with the taxi business and the bar.

As the manager/owner of Los Santos Transit, Bellavoli is in charge of the largest taxi company in Los Santos, and has essentially taken over Los Santos in a sense after it's merge with Fast Cabz Co. With Bellavoli's Liquors not having direct competition, his future looks bright, and he already has plans to invest in a logistics group called Titanic Logistics Group, work directly with Ocean Docks, doing trucking and securing shipments to transport.

Bellavoli's big profits keep him afloat, and he is planning to move into the entertainment sector as well, dreaming to own and run a night club in Los Santos. He wants to bring some new music brands to Los Santos. At the rate that he is expanding, he will surely achieve his dreams.

Bellavoli's company Los Santos Transit is the largest taxi company in Los Santos, offering taxis everywhere and boasting more than 7 employees.

After recent SAN research inside the Ocean Docks' Workers Union and the Port Authority, which includes information from a trustworthy anonymous source indirectly involved in the deal, there is enough proof to believe that the Ocean Docks Workers Union is close to finalizing a deal/contract with the Port Authority. In turn, this would give the workers; union total control over Ocean Docks, and thus a monopoly. The possible consequences of this deal may result in higher wages for the workers, more job positions, and ultimately, will benefit the workers there. It is yet to be seen what negative consequences could result because of this deal. The Ocean Docks Workers Union and the Port Authority have not yet made an official statement about the matter, and it is not yet known if the deal will continue to fruition. We will keep you updated as this progresses.
